State of Casco Bay 2026 Event
CBEP’s State of Casco Bay 2026 event was held on Friday, October 2, at the University of Southern Maine’s Abromson Center in Portland. It brought together scientists, community organizations, artists, educators, students, and members of the public to explore the health of Casco Bay and the many ways we can protect its future.
With the theme “Science, Community, and the Future of Casco Bay,” the gathering connected research and monitoring with the partnerships, creativity, and shared experiences that support stewardship of the Bay.
Here is a graphic recording of the event done by Karyn Knight Detering of Ideas Take Shape.
